His extensive notes of the TRC methods for regulation of production to maximise recovery served him well both in Venezuela and later when he took them translated into Arabic to the Cairo meeting that served as launching platform for OPEC and where Wanda Jablonski introduced him to then minister of petroleum of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah Tariki, co-founder of OPEC.

Wanda Jablonski (23 August 1920, in Czechoslovakia - 28 January 1992, in New York City) was a journalist who covered the oil and petroleum industries.

She began as the oil editor at the Journal of Commerce, where she made her mark with an 1948 interview with Juan Pablo Pérez Alfonso, then the Venezuelan oil minister, which cleverly synthesised the developing nations' viewpoint, in those days rarely heard in the west.
